Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Secretly Rich Man: Kabanata 2481 - Kabanata 2490

Now that he had heard all this, Gerald finally understood the whole story. He was also glad that he hadn’t recklessly entered the tomb right after obtaining the general tomb’s map. The headless general truly was something that he couldn’t deal with alone… Come to think of it, he had only dealt with demons before this. This was going to be his first time fighting a devil! “We really need to plan thoroughly for this… Though Sanchez doesn’t have a real body yet, we can’t underestimate his current power. While I’ll definitely be helping you in the shadows, I can’t use my powers to subdue Sanchez since that’ll definitely alert the Soluna Deus Sext. With that said, you’ll need to rely on your own strength to deal with him, Gerald!” added Finnley. “…Hmm? What exactly are you planning to do?” Chuckling in response, Finnley then said, “Don’t worry, I’ll just be assuming the identity of someone else so that I can secretly stay by your side and help you!” Following that, the old man outst

“Careful, Darkwind…!” yelled Lyndon. Though he was also appalled by that terrifying power, Lyndon quickly leaped forward and mobilized his essential qi—thus combining it with Darkwind’s—in order to block the attack together! Following the collision, an explosive sound was heard! Lyndon and Darkwind’s clothes were instantly shredded, and their backs quickly began releasing huge surges of white smoke as well! It was as though they were overheating pots! That wasn’t all, either. Both of them now had black faces, and after vomiting their insides out, they weakly flopped to the ground. Darkwind knew that his organs had been severely damaged, and even his primordial spirit had nearly been crushed! However, due to the fact that he had been a Domiensch Master for quite a while, he was able to force himself to sit cross-legged to restabilize his primordial spirit. Lyndon, on the other hand, was not as lucky. With even a bone protruding out of his elbow, this old man was no longer able to

“Did you really think that you were the only one who had gotten stronger, Ryder?” scoffed Gerald in a frigid tone. “…Fine! So be it! I guess I lost even after possessing demonic soul power! I have no further reason to live!” retorted Ryder as he raised his good hand before attempting to smash it into his forehead…! However, before his palm could hit its mark, a gust of wind redirected the attack away! Yusra was the one who did that, and it was also at that moment when Gerald finally realized that others had been watching. Now smiling at Gerald, Yusra was then prompted to say, “Mr. Gerald Crawford, correct…? Since you’ve injured Mr. Ryder so badly, could I request that you call this a tie…? Please put an end to this conflict and spare his life for my sake…” Upon hearing that, Gerald turned to give Yusra a good look… However, his eyes instantly widened instead as he muttered in shock, “…Giya…?” Apart from her fashion sense, Yusra looked almost identical to Giya! Gerald still

Following Master Greendrake’s suggestion, everyone quickly agreed and began thoroughly discussing how they were going to make it across Noircorpse Valley to finally get to the tomb. In the end, they didn’t even hold the full moon conference, opting instead to rush to the valley…All in all, there were about five hundred cultivators from major sects participating in this mission. However, only thirty-eight of them had managed to enter the Domiensch Realm…Speaking of Domiensch Masters, Darkwind and Lyndon were unable to join along due to their injuries. Because of that, Gerald simply brought the professor along. While it was true that the professor’s cultivation was nowhere near as powerful as the rest, this wasn’t actually Professor Boyle… It was a disguised Finnley instead! Naturally, Finnley had tagged along to help Gerald in secret. After all, the old man knew that even with all these cultivators, the headless general was still going to be an extremely dangerous encounter…Rega

Upon looking up, the crowd was greeted by the sight of what appeared to be a green, glowing lantern rising into the air… The scene was unsettling, to say the least. “...What… Is that…?” muttered the curious Yusra. Gerald himself was frowning. As a literature student, he had previously read that floating lanterns—such as these—were commonly used as signal lamps during ancient warring times. Once such lanterns appeared, large troops were sure to come soon…!With that in mind, Gerald felt his heart momentarily go numb as he declared, “...Not only have we been found, but we’re going to have company soon as well…!”“But who’s the enemy?” asked Yusra, now feeling even more uneasy than before. “Whoever it is, there’s nothing to be afraid of. After all, anyone who even dares to come close will first have to go through me first!” scoffed Hauk before pinching his fingers together… and launching an aurablade toward the floating lantern!“Stop…!” yelled both Gerald and Yusra at the same t
